BoyFriends

Ever felt like the odd man out? Maybe you're in a group of coupled-up friends or a bunch of beautiful singles who get all the attention. We talk about feeling this way and what to do about it.

In this episode, we're joined by Susan Mitchell of Be Single No More to talk about dealing with dating fatigue and how speed dating can help you get back on track to finding love. Past co-host Renee also joins us to give her two cents!

Ever run into an acquaintance and they pretended not to see you? What is up with that? Gay communities in many cities have a sense of smallness to them, and many of us at least know of each other. So how can we avoid this awkward moment that seems to keep happening?

A big part of being gay is our sexual liberation. There are so many sub-communities that cater to different things and we push sex positivity, but how can that impact your search for a relationship?

A hot guy with muscles tweets out a complaint about how vapid the gay community is. Now he's getting a barrage of negative responses about how he's part of the problem. Is this warranted or are we just upset when the messenger doesn't look how we want? Jarrod, Mike, and Noel discuss this along with how they see their own attractiveness. They even dig a bit into what gives them the ick on social media.
